[24 September 2015] -- The Cities Alliance is soliciting Requests for Proposals (RFPs) for research and coordination services for the design of an online knowledge platform and a set of guidelines/tools/how-to studies for City Development Strategies (CDSs). The assignment aims to improve the usefulness and impact of CDS processes supported by the Cities Alliance and help them move beyond the traditional approach. It also seeks to incorporate specific goals of the Future Cities Africa project: resilience and inclusive economic growth.
About Future Cities Africa
The Future Cities Africa (FCA) project was initiated by the UK Department for International Development (DFID) and is currently facilitated by the Cities Alliance. It aims to identify more effective ways to make cities work for the poor, with a focus on resilience and economic growth. Through Future Cities Africa, the Cities Alliance supports over 20 cities in four African countries (Ethiopia, Ghana, Mozambique and Uganda) to anticipate and minimise future challenges in terms of climate, environment and natural resources – essentially giving them the diagnostic and tools to future proof themselves to become inclusive, resilient and have growing economies.
